While the number of electric car models is increasing day by day, manufacturers cannot remain indifferent to this situation. Rolls-Royce, the first brand that comes to mind when it comes to luxury, also unveiled its first electric model in the brand’s history. The Rolls-Royce Specter brings a completely new perspective to the electric car market.
Rolls-Royce Specter combines luxury and electricity
Specter, which is preparing to bring an ultra-luxury touch to the electric car market, will be talked about a lot with its price as well as its features. The new model is expected to be positioned between the 350 thousand dollars Cullinan and 460,000 dollars Phantom. This shows that we are dealing with a very expensive car, as expected from Rolls-Royce.

The Rolls-Royce Specter offers ample space inside with its 3,210mm wheelbase. The weight of the new electric sports car was announced as 2,975 kilograms. The company emphasizes that the electric models have a 30 percent more rigid structure than the other models, despite the extra weight with the aluminum chassis.
The luxury car manufacturer is very shy in sharing the technical data of its new models. Stating that the batteries alone weigh 700 kilograms, the company announced the range of the electric model as 520 kilometers according to WLPT data. Considering this range and the weight of the vehicle, we think that there is a battery of at least 100 kWh under the body of the vehicle.
It was announced that the electric power unit of the vehicle produces 585 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque. It is stated that the vehicle accelerates from 0-100 km / h in 4.5 seconds. Stating that these are not final data, the British manufacturer also underlines that the values may change.
When we look at the new Rolls-Royce Specter from the outside, we encounter a familiar image. With a length of 5,453 mm, a width of 2,080 mm and a height of 1,559 mm, the vehicle, which has no small dimensions, offers inspiration from the Wraith and Phantom Coupe models.
Specter’s two-piece lighting assembly is separated from each other by Rolls-Royce’s signature wide front grille. This wide grille illuminated by 22 LEDs also emphasizes the electric power unit of the vehicle. Adopting a calmer design at the rear, Specter also draws attention with its 23-inch wheels. Let’s also remind you that these are the biggest wheels ever on a Rolls-Royce.
The interior also follows in the footsteps of other Rolls-Royce models. In addition to a large steering wheel and a centrally located infotainment system, this model also features a screen on the passenger side. On the other hand, we see that the famous starlight ceiling, which we remember from other models of the brand, extends to the doors in Spectre.
Rolls-Royce, which is under the umbrella of the BMW Group, has already started to make a name for itself with its first electric model. The new model is expected to hit the road towards the end of 2023. On the other hand, Rolls-Royce announced that by 2030 all its models will have electric power units.
